    Noted and thank you. No personal reason, I do wonder if that point will ever be reached and what that will take to get there but I pray it never does

    No. I didn't say that at all but appreciate your feedback However you look at it it is a clear abuse of position . Do you think that is acceptable?

    Thoughts on cartridge traps in plains game or dangerous game rifle

    They are quite appropriate in an old drilling. Not so sure they wouldn't add an un~needed "faff" factor to a DG rifle when a quick reload is needed ? I am sure there are faster/better methods for that.

    Which Barrel Do You Fire First?

    I have what most here would consider a small bore DR. I always fire the front trigger first. I have been shooting sxs double trigger shotguns for over 50 years so moving from front trigger to back trigger it is natural for me. Although with a shotgun if I want the choked barrel first I...

    What knife are you carrying everyday right now?

    Opinel No. 8 Used it daily for over 20 years. Food prep, gutting game and countless other tasks. Got given a new one by my Son last Christmas. Either the blade shape has changed or my old one has had a lot of sharpening!

    Given this is, in the main a hunting forum, I reiterate my first response to you. "Unnecessary" in this thread. There is a section on this forum for politics and I suggest if you have anything valid to say, which I very much doubt, then that is the place. I am happy to enter any debate with...

    Pity you felt it necessary to make a political point here. Given current events I would have thought coming from where you do you would be better keeping your trap shut.

    Hi Ontario Hunter. Thanks for your message and concern. I am in Oman. For reasons I can't go into we are fine here in Muscat. I flew back here on 10th March and am here for another couple of weeks before I have a break, and then will head back here. All good apart from we are just in the...

    Hunting stand found near Air Force One landing zone

    I read it was in the central reservation ("median strip" for you 'muricans) So most unlikely for hunting. Of course it could just have been some sort of tree-house built by kids?

    Last one for a while. Not a hunting knife but I will post none the less. My Grandfather was a butcher (died 1948) This was one of his knives. Now cherished by me and in my posession. Still used for carving roasts. A great example of how a knife reduces through sharpening over decades of use...

    Here is a real old stager. This was originally a Frost/Eriksson (later Mora) Scout knife with a wooden handle. I bought it new as a young lad in the 1970's and used it a tremendous amount for paunching rabbits. I was big Into ferreting as a young'un. For decades it was lounging around in a...

    Nothing wrong with having more knives than you use @CBH. I have had this particular knife over 20 years. Like I said I use it daily, mostly for food prep and eating but it has done a lot of game - especially Rabbits but also birds as well. It has an Oak handle which was a special edition...

    @Stompbox Dunno if you ever fixed the issue but if not start by seeking less "barrel time" for your projectiles. Either more/faster powder with your current bullets or lighter bullets. Short of expensive re-regulation, hand loading is usually the way forward for tuning/regulating double...
